Suai lies on the south coast, relatively close to the land border with Indonesia. It's 30 minutes' flight time from Dili. The direct track passes over Gleno, past the flanks of Mount Ramelau, and through the Bobonaro gap. As far as scenery goes, it's one of my favourite routes (when the gap is not full of cloud...)
